On-chain Solana operations enter social media: Blinks technology enables 600 million X users to seamlessly experience Web3

【Crypto World】Solana has moved on-chain operations to the X platform. Now users can complete token swaps, purchase NFTs, and other activities directly within the feed, without switching to other platforms.

The core of this solution is the Solana Blinks technology. Simply put, it packages blockchain transactions into clickable links embedded in posts. Users can tap to open a signature window and execute transactions directly within X using wallets like Phantom — all without leaving the platform.

Why do this? The official idea is very clear: lower the barriers. Traditional Web3 operations involve multiple steps and complex processes, which can easily scare off ordinary users. But if interactions are integrated into the social feed, performing actions becomes as simple as liking a post. Plus, with X now having 600 million monthly active users, this is almost using the largest Web2 social traffic pool to open the door to Web3. This integrated approach is essentially building a direct channel between Web2 and Web3.
